Middle Tennessee Electric's Customers Care has donated $5,000 of its Operation Round Up funds to the Community Servants, Inc.

"This will help us serve the community through our education outreach and after school programs," Community Servants Executive Director John Key said. "We appreciate the Customers Care Program and the cooperative's members that donate money to Operation Round Up that make grants like this possible."

Community Servants, Inc. is a not-for-profit organization, which conducts multiple outreach programs. Its efforts include Community Kids After School Program, The Learning Center, housing assistance, counseling, homeless family outreach and more.

In 2015, Customers Care has given more than $928,000 to 140 organizations across MTEMC's four-county service area. The receiving organizations use the funds to assist MTEMC members and their families during their times of need. Middle Tennessee Electric Membership Corporation is a member-owned, not-for-profit cooperative providing electricity to more than 200,000 residential and business members in Cannon, Rutherford, Williamson and Wilson counties.

These grants are administered through the Customers Care board who tracks incoming contributions from Operation Round Up, an initiative that rounds up a member's bill to the next highest dollar. Since 2003 Operation Round Up has distributed more than $8 million to 548 organizations across the region.
